Status reporting (was Ceiling Lights & Local Control)



A transformer with rectified output can be used to give a status back
but it would not work below a certain dim level.
This would be OK for an AD10, but in this case a simple 220V relay would
do the same trick.

It is possible to build a very small circuit wich will detect the output of
an LD up to almost 0% dimming.

I made a little drawing using an optocoupler
(based on the concept of the Zero detect circuit used in Two Way
interfaces)
with 8 components, this should work.
If there is an interest I am quite willing to build and test it.

Luc.
